7. We have never eaten, been served or able to order nachos or guacamole. Note that this may be a regional preference as "mole" (pronounced mo-lay) is very common here and not in other parts of Mexico).

8. We do not eat anything with mayonnaise (unless in our own home). Mexicans do not refrigerate it.

9. We do not refrigerate our eggs here. Yet, we do in Canada!?

10. We're in the middle of coffee country and nobody drinks coffee. Let me rephrase that, nobody drinks fresh coffee. Instant is the way they go. It probably has something to do with the fact that the cheapest beans you can find are $16/K. Note that Ed drinks fresh coffee.

11. One of Max's favourite foods is "pan" (translated it means bread but not of the sliced variety). It is sweet and traditionally eaten in the evening as a snack (with coffee, see #10).

12. We purify all our fruits and vegetables with an iodine solution.

13. We purchase bottled water, however, it regularly comes with Guardia and other amoebas. Note that the company doesn't charge for these extras.

I'd stick with the fruit since I'm a struggling vegetarian. The strangest thing I've ever eaten was blood pudding. I was more adventurous as a child. Not anymore lol. My dad and brother eat all the meat so I'm sure they'd love Mexico.

Mmmmm...giardia. Sounds delicious! ;)My question is do you bring coffee and propane from Canada? Sounds like that would be a good idea..and perhaps beef jerky to keep your iron stores up! I love how you have officially screwed yourself by posting #1 - you are sure to get sick now!
